The CBD Drinks Report, which has been launched by drinks experts Zenith Global and Beverage Digest, said US sales of cannabis-based drinks was worth $86 million last year- but sales were likely to pass the key $1 billion barrier in 2023, jumping to around $1.4 billion by 2024.

The weed-infused drinks category has already been tipped for major success in the US as more states allow recreational use of the drug. There are now ten states, where cannabis is legal, following Michigan’s decision to legalise the drug after last year’s mid-term elections, with a further 33 states allowing medicinal use of the drug.
